1 For, see, in those days , and in that time , when I will bring again  the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem  2 I will also gather all nations , and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat , and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel , who they have scattered among the nations , and parted my land  3 And they have cast lots for my people ; and have given a boy for an prostitute , and sold a girl for wine , that they might drink  4 Yes, and what have you to do with me, O Tyre , and Zidon , and all the coasts of Palestine ? will you render me a recompence ? and if you recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will I return your recompence on your own head  5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold , and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things  6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have you sold to the Grecians  , that you might remove them far from their border  7 See, I will raise them out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your recompence on your own head  8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah , and they will sell them to the Sabeans , to a people far off : for the LORD has spoken  9 Proclaim you this among the Gentiles ; Prepare war , wake up the mighty men , let all the men of war draw near ; let them come up  10 Beat your plowshares into swords , and your pruninghooks into spears : let the weak say , I [am] strong  11 Assemble yourselves, and come , all you heathen , and gather yourselves together round about : there cause your mighty ones to come down , O LORD  12 Let the heathen be wakened , and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat : for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about  13 Put you in the sickle , for the harvest is ripe : come , go down ; for the press is full , the fats overflow ; for their wickedness [is] great  14 Multitudes , multitudes in the valley of decision : for the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision  15 The sun and the moon will be darkened , and the stars will withdraw their shining  16 The LORD also will roar out of Zion , and utter his voice from Jerusalem ; and the heavens and the earth will shake : but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people , and the strength of the children of Israel  17 So will you know that I [am] the LORD your God dwelling in Zion , my holy mountain : then will Jerusalem be holy , and there will no strangers pass through  18 And it will come to pass in that day , [that] the mountains will drop down new wine , and the hills will flow with milk , and all the rivers of Judah will flow with waters , and a fountain will come forward of the house of the LORD , and will water the valley of Shittim  19 Egypt will be a desolation , and Edom will be a desolate wilderness , for the violence [against] the children of Judah , because they have shed innocent blood in their land  20 But Judah will dwell forever , and Jerusalem from generation to generation  21 For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed : for the LORD dwells in Zion
